she said YES!!

FINALLY!!! <-- click that.

in other news, i ordered the cutest shoes ever (in black) and they came in today. i hurridly opened the package excited to see if i liked them as much as i hoped i would, but my heart sank as i put one foot forward and the backs proceeded to fall off. in fact, i could have fit the state of iowa in the space between the back of the shoe and my heel. i controlled my wanting-to-curse tongue and said "oh MAN!!!" and checked the size. sure enough - 7.5. i took them to suzanne who wears a 9.5 and they fit her. *sigh* bummer. no wonder they were the last pair. so i'm sending them back with a little note that says "dude! these are sized wrong! for the love of pete, don't sell them to another 7.5-footed woman!!" well, maybe not in those exact words, but close.

dogs are visiting my school, i receive incorrectly sized shoes, my friends are getting engaged - my goodness. it was an exciting day. exciting or boring. either one. whatever it was, it's friday and we have NO PLANS and it's actually a good thing. chris and i have been so busy the past few months that we're looking forward to a night of nothing. well, i'll be writing my novel!!!!!!! my word count is WAY below quota.
